63A Kildare Avenue, Auckland, Auckland, 1071, New Zealand

Occupying a private position off one of Glendowie’s favoured streets, this beautifully-appointed, near-new freehold home is exactly what our vendors were hoping to find when they moved here on a temporary assignment from Sydney five years ago. Active empty nesters, they wanted a place that offered privacy, space and freedom to enjoy life without constant upkeep — in a vibrant lifestyle location. This home just met the mark, and two things sealed the deal. First, the layout. The generous open-plan living/dining/kitchen, framed by 2.7-metre ceilings and filled with natural light, is just a joy to live in. For these keen entertainers, the oversized island bench, walk-in pantry, and oak floors make hosting easy. A gas fire creates a cosy vibe on quiet nights, and for alfresco enjoyment, the living area transitions seamlessly through sliders to the northwest-facing garden and deck. A smart electric awning allows use of this sheltered area all year round. Set away from the social zone, a second living area opens to an easterly deck catching the morning sun. It’s a brilliant work-from-home space for the owners, but it’s also ideal as a hangout for the kids away from the adults. Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms comfortably accommodate friends and family who visit regularly. Secondly, they love how quiet and private the home feels, providing a level of calm they hadn’t expected in a location so close to St Heliers beach, bars, and village life. It’s been the perfect ‘lock-and-leave’ for this couple who will miss it when they return to Sydney. But, it’s also an excellent opportunity for families at every stage who want space, security, and top school zoning (Churchill Park School and Glendowie College are both a short walk) without spending weekends maintaining a large property. Moments from Churchill Park’s open green space and a scenic drive along the waterfront into the city, this home and location deliver the lifestyle many are seeking, and plenty of time to enjoy it all.
